The County's funding ran out before the entire community could be <br />served, but there were approximately 80 residents remaining who had signed up to receive sewer and never did. The Central Efland portion of this project will provide <br />sewer service availability to the majority of those properties that requested service 25 years ago, in addition to providing sewer availability to most of the rest of the Efland <br />Community. The Northern Buckhorn project will be an extension of the City of Mebane's sewer system and will serve residents in the area along Buckhorn Road between <br />the Interstate and the railroad tracks. This portion of the project is made possible by EPA Special Appropriations Grants that were earmarked by Congressman David Price <br />and applied for by the County. The vast majority of the Central Efland project will be paid for by the remainder of the EPA grant and by a DENR State Revolving Loan Fund. <br />An estimate of the debt service is shown above, based on an estimated loan amount of $2,351,899 an interest rate of 2.445% and the maximum term of 20 years. The full <br />loan amount of $3,500,000 is a maximum line of credit and was based on the original project cost estimates, but based on the project bids and current costs, the loan is <br />expected to be less than $2,400,000, as shown above. The debt service payments will be based on the actual amount borrowed. Some project expenses are not <br />reimbursable by the State Loan program or the EPA grant. These have been paid from Capital Project 30017 from proceeds of the 1997 bond issued to pay for the Central <br />Efland Sewer Extension <br />Doft <br />
